LOUISIANA BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, cream, and milk until well combined. Add in sugar cinnamon vanilla and splash of butter until everything is well blended(you can smell heaven). Now you have to get messy, break up all of the bread into the custard and fold together by hand until all of the bread is soaked(you will have some excess liquid but its ok) and let sit for about 20 minutes. Melt the the 1 stick of butter and pour the melted butter in a 13 x 9 baking dish. Pour the bread pudding into the dish and bake for 50-60 minutes in which i prefer 60 but your oven is different but the sides should form a nice brown crust.
• For the sauce,slightly melt white chocolate chips in a bowl in microwave and set aside. In a saucepan melt 1 stick butter on medium heat until it starts to slightly bubble, add in bourbon, cream and powdered sugar and whisk while still on heat until well combined and then add melted white chocolate chips and continue to whisk, if too thick add more cream.
• I say start the sauce 20 minutes before you pull the bread pudding out of the oven and if you decide not to use the white chocolate chips in the sauce then substitute 1 cup of granulated sugar for the powdered sugar and add more bourbon.

BREAD PUDDING WITH SOUTHERN BOURBON SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place stale bread in a bowl with milk and squeeze the bread with your hand until well saturated with milk.
• With an electric mixer on high speed in a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and raisins to the egg mixture. Add the soaked bread crumbs to the egg mixture and stir well. Let stand for 10 minutes. It is important to allow enough time for the bread to absorb the egg mixture or the bread crumbs will float to the top during baking, leaving a layer of custard on the bottom of the dish.
• Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake until firm, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let it slightly cool in the dish.
• Meanwhile, near the end of the baking time, make the sauce. With an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until thick and pale. In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the egg yolks, beating constantly with the mixer, until well thickened. Stir in bourbon by hand. Serve the pudding warm with vanilla ice cream if desired. Pass the hot bourbon sauce separately.
